Day 1 Had some rye crisp bread with honey on. I much prefer rice cakes. I shan’t be upset if rye is no good as it tastes awful. I’m sure there are people who actually like these things but not me!

Day 2 Well yesterday evening I had a really bad IBS pain. Its the pain I get that causes a physical band around my abdomen. Then this morning I had frequent trips to the loo so I guess rye is no good. Well thats not a bad thing as I can’t think of any food I would eat with it in that I like. I guess it’s sometimes in special types of bread but apart from that I don’t see it being a problem for me.I did a search for rye and it is very high in fibre (insoluble fibre) and does cause a problem for some people with IBS. Here’s an excerpt from my search.******************************************************************The following have been associated with a worsening of IBS symptoms

large meals

bloating from gas in the colon

medicines

wheat, rye, barley, chocolate, milk products, or alcohol

drinks with caffeine, such as coffee, tea, or colas

stress, conflict, or emotional upsets
